As one of the old men spoke, the formation in the air transformed into a map of City A. The landmark circled by golden light was the alley where Mu Zhiqiu lived.
“It’s actually in Qianxiang.”
Zhao Ling was a little surprised when he looked at the familiar landmark.
"Oh? Xiao Ling knows?"
Grandpa Feng asked while stroking his beard when he heard this.
"Yes, it's in the old city of City A. I heard by chance that many people moved away a few years ago and only a few residents are left."
What Zhao Ling didn't mention was that there was a famous school idol living there, and he seemed to be very familiar with Bai Manxing...
Because she didn't want to involve ordinary people, Zhao Ling had rarely contacted Bai Manxing since the ghost village incident, but she would occasionally be seen delivering meals to the school hunk at school.
Bai Manxing woke up the next day and found himself lying in bed again, and was confused again.
Why did she wake up from the bed again?
I tried hard to recall what happened last night, but I could only remember that I seemed to be talking with Mu Zhiqiu about which fruit was delicious.
Well……? ?
Bai Manxing was just thinking about it when he smelled the fragrance of the rice and instantly forgot the problem.
"Qiuqiu~ Your cooking is still as delicious as ever."
She sighed a little, thinking that a ghost could cook better food than hers.
At the dinner table, Bai Manxing looked at Mu Zhiqiu who was eating quietly with his head down.
It's rare that some food is tasteless.
She had a hunch that something must have happened last night, but her memory couldn't recall it.
"Manxing, do you know why I can mobilize other evil spirits?"
Mu Zhiqiu finished the last bite, put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Bai Manxing opposite him.
"Because here is my heart."
It is rumored that there is a blood bead in the Ghost King's body. If a cultivator obtains this thing, he can remain young and immortal.
"Qiu Qiuqiu, why are you telling me this?"
Bai Manxing looked at Mu Zhiqiu with doubts in his eyes.
"Don't you want it?"
There was a rare silence in the air.
"Mu Zhiqiu, there's something I want to make clear to you."
"I stayed with you because I hoped to stop you from destroying humanity, but I also liked you."
"I, Bai Manxing, like Mu Zhiqiu, and that's why I want to stop you. Qiuqiu, why don't you just stop and leave here with me?"
She looked at Mu Zhiqiu with anticipation.
"If you are worried about the difference between humans and ghosts, you should also know that the treasure in my hand can prevent ghosts from getting close to me."
After she finished speaking, there was silence again.
"Okay, I understand."
Bai Manxing looked at Mu Zhiqiu who had been keeping his head down and not saying anything, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and rushed out of the house.
The room was silent for a long time. Mu Zhiqiu broke the chopsticks with his bare hands and left the room.
In the evening, Mu Zhiqiu looked at Bai Manxing who had not returned yet, frowned slightly, took out his mobile phone and looked at the phone that showed ten o'clock.
He clenched his fingers around the phone, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed the number.
"Beep~Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off..."
Mu Zhiqiu frowned and hung up the phone.
"Nothing unexpected will happen, right?"
Thinking of this, he sat down on the sofa, closed his eyes and checked on Bai Manxing's condition.
Ever since Bai Manxing was injured, he has secretly installed a positioning device on her.
The original purpose was to monitor Bai Manxing, but now it has unknowingly become protection.
A few minutes later, Mu Zhiqiu opened his eyes with a serious expression.
“I can’t find it…”
He had not expected this situation.
It seems someone took Bai Manxing away.
Who is it?
The Zhao family? The Shen family? Or the Feng family?
Mu Zhiqiu mentally gathered some of the noble families that were most likely to take action.
"Hiss~"
The first thing Bai Manxing did after opening his eyes was to cover the back of his neck.
What bad luck!
Not long after leaving Mu Zhiqiu's house, he was attacked.
She rubbed the back of her neck and looked around to find that she was in a cellar-like room.
The surrounding area is made of iron sheets and metal.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Bai Manxing's painful expression gradually disappeared.
Was she kidnapped?
Bai Manxing thought of the jade in her bag, and she touched her chest inconspicuously.
Long before she got married, she had sewn the jade into the lining to prevent anyone from touching it.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she confirmed that the jade was still there.
It’s good that it’s still there. You can say that the jade is her trump card. If it’s gone, she will have no possibility of fighting back.
She didn't know how long she sat in the cellar before she finally heard a voice other than her own.
"Tap tap~" The sound of shoes stepping on the ground came from outside the iron gate.
The door opened with a creak, and dazzling white light shone in.
Bai Manxing raised her hand to block the light and looked at the iron gate, only to find that the outside of the gate was also made entirely of metal, and she was still underground.
Two men approached the door, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie and an old man in a white coat.
When Bai Manxing saw the syringe in the old man's hand, his pupils shrank suddenly.
What is this about???
"Hello, Miss Bai. My name is Zhao Teng."
The man in the suit looked at Bai Manxing calmly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Why did you arrest me?"
"Don't worry, I'm just taking a little of your blood. I won't do anything to you."
"Sir, I'm just an ordinary person. I'm useless. Can you please let me go?"
Bai Manxing begged for mercy.
"Nonono, Miss Bai is not ordinary. I can't find any information about you, and the ghost village disappeared strangely after you left, so how could Miss Bai be an ordinary person?"
Zhao Teng didn’t say one crucial thing.
She also lives in Qianxiang, and this series of probabilities together seems very unusual.
Bai Manxing was very surprised when he heard this. The ghost village disappeared?
She could only think that it was Mu Zhiqiu who did it.
"I advise you not to resist. There are guards everywhere here. If you don't resist, I will let you go once I figure out everything."
Zhao Teng looked at Bai Manxing who was retreating step by step and gave a look to the old man beside him.
"Mr. Zhao, I won't resist, but I hope you'll keep your promise. I'm definitely an ordinary person. As for my identity, I've lived in the mountains with my master since I was a child, so it's normal that you can't find me. As for why the ghost village disappeared, I don't know either."
After Bai Manxing finished explaining, he obediently stretched out his hand and let the old man insert the needle into his arm.
Although she wanted to resist, she knew her own limitations. If she forced these people to discover the jade on her body, it would be troublesome.
"Don't worry, Miss Bai. If there's nothing special about you, I will definitely send you back safely."
She watched the two of them take away a syringe of her blood, and sat back on the ground somewhat disappointed.
I hope these people will keep their word and let her go.
I don’t know what’s going on with Mu Zhiqiu.
Bai Manxing covered his face and laughed at himself. Why should he care about him at this time? He is an evil ghost!
